FAIRLY LEGAL “Priceless” Review

Fairly Legal (USA) Priceless

FAIRLY LEGAL “Priceless” Season 1 Episode 2 – Something I’m beginning to dig about Kate is the fact that she doesn’t just talk about her client’s problems, she’s also willing to get emotionally invested in these people, too. I mean taking a baseball bat to a convenience store in order to help a man finally reach the point where he could get angry about a terrible wrong that was done to him? Now that’s dedication.

The other thing that I’m discovering is that Lauren is really turning into a sympathetic character. I saw a few moments of that in the pilot but in this episode especially, I found myself feeling for her. She’s cold as ice (and now we know why that is) but that’s the way she’s getting through what is definitely a terrible loss for her. I think she might turn out to be another one of my favorite characters on the show, go figure.

My favorite bits….

Giggling again at Kate’s ringtone for Lauren. I like it so much that I don’t even mind that it ends up getting stuck in my head for a few hours every time I hear it.

The fact that one of the reasons Lauren gave for firing her assistant was that he didn’t prevent her stapler from being stolen. Okay, yeah, that’s totally logical.

Leo’s comment that Raymond was a lucky, lucky man for getting fired.

The cabbie constantly sniffing his coffee.

Annie breaking up the cabbie/biker fight and taking away both of their coffees.

Trying to figure out what Steve’s deal was. For someone who was put in jail for 22 years for a crime he didn’t commit, he sure was chilled out.

Wondering why Teddy’s secretary was being such an incredible bitch to Lauren. I mean her husband just died, not wanting to go into his office is a little understandable.

Leo taking a bite out of Kate’s cookie about a half a second after she told him not to. LOL.

Justin pointing out that there was only one “pot” and once the money was gone, it was gone. Hmm. you know, I never thought of it that way.

Lauren telling Kate to stop being a child, show up for the reading of her father’s will, and of course don’t hog the stapler. Methinks staplers are very important to this woman.

Kate knowing exactly where Steve was headed and helping him to open up. That whole scene was fantastic.

Steve’s description of the life he wanted sounding like a pretty good one to me too.

Finding Lauren’s method for handling her grief one of the most interesting I’ve ever seen. Teddy’s secretary then telling her that checking the lock was good, but checking under the stall was better, really made me feel for her.

Loving Kate’s solution for Steve’s problem and guaranteeing that everyone would win.

Kate admitting to Justin that the reason she’d been avoiding the reading of the will was that it really meant he was gone. And… there came the tears. Dang it, they keep getting me with that part of the story.

The mystery ending. Oooh. so who is that David Smith fellow?

    I didn’t really like the solution to Steve’s problem. I know it theoretically gave him a steady income but I think there should have been some guarantee that the park district can’t fire him.

    Personally the park and the money to fund it should have been put in a trust with Steve as a lifetime trustee. That way he has a guaranteed income and the park district wouldn’t have as much control. The public still gets a park but Steve gets a lot more financial security.

      Wow, see now my mind didn’t even go there but that does sound like it would have been a good solution too. I was just happy he had something to do with his life and never thought about little stuff like security. LOL.

        I’m a lawyer so all I could think about was the ways the state could screw him in the future.

          I kinda figured you were but I wasn’t sure. One of my good friends just passed the bar and you sounded a lot like her so I was suspicious I was talking to another of her ilk. Turns out I was right. LOL.

            Ha ha. I guess we all are easy to pick out. We all see the glass as half empty. We are taught to think about what could go wrong and not what could go right.

            Congrats to your friend. I passed the Illinois bar 3 years ago and I remember how stressful that was.

              Well that’s your job so it’s not necessarily a bad thing to see things like that. After all, you’re there to protect people like me who don’t look at things that way and then get hit with stuff we didn’t expect. Lawyers are there to keep that from happening.

              Congrats to you too! I’ve been through the entire journey with her and I know how hard it’s been. The day I met her just so happened to be the day she passed the L-Sats and then last spring I was there to see her graduate. Last week she went into court for the first time. Crazy how fast time is flying.
